  PREAMBLE
  For items 1 to 10
  On 12 January 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3, announcing that it had received applications for broadcasting licences to carry on television programming undertakings to provide television services to serve Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. The Public Notice called for applications from other parties wishing to obtain broadcasting licences to provide television services to Edmonton and/or Calgary, Alberta.
  On 12 April 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3-1, extending the deadline for submission of applications until further notice.
  On 7 July 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3-1, stating that the deadline for submission of applications was extended to 18 August 2006.
  In response to this call, the Commission has received a number of applications for licences to serve these markets.
  Some of these applications are technically mutually exclusive. These applications are:
  For Calgary:
 
  • Rogers Broadcasting Limited (item 5), MVBC Holdings Limited
    (item 7), and CanWest MediaWorks Inc. (item 9) are technically mutually exclusive, proposing the use of channel 38.
  These applications, along with Crossroads Television System (item 1) and The Miracle Channel Association (item 3), will be treated as competitive television applications for Calgary.
  For Edmonton:
 
  • Crossroads Television System (item 2) and MVBC Holdings Limited (item 8) are technically mutually exclusive, proposing the use of channel 45.
  These applications, along with The Miracle Channel Association (item 4), Rogers Broadcasting Limited (item 6), and CanWest MediaWorks Inc. (item 10), will be treated as competitive television applications for Edmonton.
  In order to use its time more efficiently at the hearing, the Commission may decide to question applicants on any matters related to issues common to both markets.
  Item 11
  The Commission intends to discuss various issues related to the use of local availabilities in US programming services for commercial advertising  and any potential impacts that the undertaking proposed by Only Imagine Inc. would have on Canadian programming services and broadcasting distribution undertakings.

  The Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, items 12 to 16 during the non-appearance phase of the public hearing.
